What ericschand said is perfect, and I'll just add that the beauty now is the Pi2 @ $60 for a complete kit isn't much to shell out for a hobby toy, even if nothing much comes of it.
I still know very little about Linux and programming, and rely on tutorials and walk throughs by other to do what I want to get done. Lots of great info available.
What spurred my interest was cutting the cable cord, and while a lot of addons for Kodi media player (and others) are devoted to grey area or downright illegal streaming, there is a ton of great legal addons to watch streaming content, and the Pi is a great choice for a DIY kind of person.
Good luck to anyone jumping in to give it a try.

We have one just for playing around with, and my 9 year old daughter loves the little projects we have made with it, including from building a very brightly decorated girlie case to a reporting weather household station.
